Kash Patel announces FBI ditching DC headquarters, transferring 1,500 agents
Briefly

FBI Director Kash Patel announced the bureau will move 1,500 employees from the J. Edgar Hoover Building, deeming it unsafe. He emphasized the need for a facility that reflects the agency's status as a premier law enforcement institution. Although specific safety concerns weren't disclosed, Patel noted that many employees are concentrated in Washington, D.C., while much crime occurs elsewhere. The planned relocation aims to inspire recruitment and improve operations across various states in the country in the coming months.
This FBI is leaving the Hoover building because this building is unsafe for our workforce.
We want the American men and women to know if you're going to come work at the premier law enforcement agency in the world, we're going to give you a building that's commensurate with that.
